PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of land which can
and should be annexed to the City of Salina. The study is intended to
serve as a guide in orderly annexation and the formulation of future
pol ides and procedures for annexation.
I;
The study includes the following elements:
A. General background on annexation.
B.Legal authority and limitations of annexation.
C. Discussion of annexation and zoning.
D. Discussion of annexation and Subdivision Regulations.
E~ Possible provisions of a 'Policy Statement" relating to
annexation in the Planning Department Report of November, 1963.
F. The annexation study.
1. Land ownerships, population and valuation.
2. Phased program of annexation for eligible areas.
3. Effect of annexation on school districts.
4. Annexation and existing county zoning.
5. Evaluation of the eligible annexation areas with criteria
submitted in the Planning Department report of Nov., 1963.
G. Recommended annexation program.
GENERAL BACKGROUND
'.
.
Much has been written about the pros and cons of annexation and
policies of extending services to fringe areas outside the city. A
survey conducted by the International City Manager's Association in
1960, which was published in outline form in a 1963 Planning Department
report, "Municipal Services to Fringe Areas - Annexation - Deannexation"
reflects two trends of thought. It might be well to review these trends
of thought before Salina attempts to establish a policy on annexation
and extension. of municipal utilities to the fringe areas.
Cities that provide services, give as their reasons:
1. Fringe services protect city residents from the effects
of poor conditions that would spread from the fringe into
the city (fire, health, 'sanitation, etc.).
2. Fringe services aid in the orderly development of the
total urban area of which the city and the fringe are both
a pa rt .
-1-
.
3. Fringe services encourage annexation.
4. The City is the only possible or most able supplier,
and it is the City's moral obligation to furnish service,
(Also concepts. of being "good neighbor" and "creating
good will ").
5. Providing service represents a long-time commitment.
6. Higher rates charged makes it financially profitable
to the City.
Cities that do not provide municipal services to their
fringe areas, give as their most frequent reasons:
1. Discourages growth of the fringe; the fringe may
become a problem as it grows.
2. Avoids weakening city governments by refusing to per-
mit fringe dwellers to select one or a few services from
the variety supplied to city residents.
3. Encourages annexation.
4. Makes fringe dwellers face up.to their responsibilities
and obligations as inhabitants of an urban environment.
5. There is no precise way of calculating equitable charges.
The survey reports the following generalizations that were
found to exist in fringe areas. "Certain fringes are unable
or unwilling to obtain basic services from existing local
governments or private companies", "Services are provided
(sometimes only in case of an emergency) in fringe areas,
not throughout such areas". "Fringe services generally
represent improvisations or stop-gaps that ignore the
immediate and long-range consequences to the fringe itself
and to the adjacent city". "Fringe areas represent a per-
sistent problem that will be solved only by comprehensive
and constructive action. They need both zoning and sub-
~ivision regulations as well as adequate basic services".
Regardless of which trend of thought one may consider the most appropriate,
there exists a general recognition that growth is and will.likely continue
at the fringe area of the American City. The automobile, good highways
and roads, desire for home ownerships and financing programs have made
it that way.
The question of annexation and extension of municipal utilities to fringe
areas must be answered by each municipality. State laws which permit
incorporation of small cells in the fringe area may cast a different light
on the total problem. It would appear that before attempting to formulate
an opinion on the matter that each city should answer the following questions.
-2-
1. Does state law permit incorporation of small
the fringe areas? In Kansas the answer is yes.
of such incorporation is Grandview Plaza east of
urban cells in
A recent example
Junction City.
2. Are there ielf-contained units at the fringe of the city which
could incorporate?
3. If the self-contained units were to incorporate what effect
would the incorporation have on the future tax base of the city?
4. Woula the extension of municipal utilities to ,the self-con-
tained urban cells tend to stimulate growth in these cells?
The probable answer for Salina is yes.
5. Is there adequate room for horizontal growth inside the city
for industrial, commercial and residential growth?
Annexation in some cases may have effects well beyond the limits normally
considered to include strictly the metropolitan area. Annexation of an
entire government division or school district in a single action is
effective in simplifying the government of the metropolitan area and
reduces the impact to a minimum on contiguous remaining areas not subject
to annexation.
Impedients to annexation can be classified under three general headings:
(1) legal restrictions (2) public debts and (3) attitudes of people'con-
cerned. In contrast to continental European cities that have power to
do practically as they chose except as prohibited by law, American cities
have only such authority as is specifically granted by state statutes.
The annexation of an area not incumbered by public debt involves no serious
problem of financial equity if services and benflts are extended to the
annexed area in proportion to valuations and/or fees and service charges
collected. Annexation may, however, result in increased taxes on the area
annexed due to participation in cost of additional services and facilities
not previously supported.
Public debt assessed to. an area to be annexed is a complicating fact to
be considered if equity is to be preserved and obligations are to be
equitably related to benefits received. This is especially true if the
area to be annexed is only a portion of the area against which the public
debt is assessed. The creation of public debt closely follows development
and concentration of population.
It would therefore appear that annexation should, wheneve~ possible, be
accomplished prior to the development of necessity for the creation of
public debt. Such a policy would require annexation prior to development
of competing utility systems by other political subdivisions and at the
same time strict forbiddance of the extension of city utilities beyond
the limits of the city except for specific industrial purposes. The
attitudes of people are frequently inexplicable and grow from simple per-
sonal preferences. Factors contributing to the forming of attitudes include
the following:
-3-
I
. '
1. Taxation effects as applied to the individual.
2. Opposition to restrictions imposed such as zoning regulations.
3. Willingness to share and support community efforts.
4. Benefits available from City Government.
An active city, like active people, must have room for growth. If area
is not provided for outward growth within the city, two possibilities
are likely to occur. The first possibility would be construction of
multi-story structures within the city. The second possibility would be
that growth will take place at the urban fringe. In Central Kansas the
latter possibility is more likely to occur. Municipal control is, there-
fore desirable and necessary if the city is to survive the times. Failure
to recognize this need at the, present time could mean that some time in
the future, unless present state laws are revised, that the city might
be ringed by sattelite incorporated urban centers. Should this occur
the city tax base could be jeopardized and new sources of revenue would
have to be found to provide needed services demanded by the citizens of
the parent city.
The annexation problem in Salina is not as acute as that outlined above
because of the past cooperation of present city and county officials,
and the present policy on extension of municipal utilities. It is not
meant to say, however, that it cannot occur. The installation of a
rural water line in some of the existing or future urban cells could
change the picture. "

LEGAL AUTHORI'rY AKD LIMITATIONS
An annexation study for the City of Salina does not mean the mere preparation
of a map showing areas the City desires to annex and the preparation of an
ordinance annexing the area. This case may be true where a property such as
Schilling Air Force Base under single ownership, is annexed. This is an
exception rather than the rule. Where a master plan for annexation is under-
taken by the city and the total plan invloves several owners, Kansas Law
prescribes certain limitations.
The legal authority and limitation for cities of the first class in Kansas,
pretaining to annexation, are found in Sections 13-202" 13-1602 and 13-1602a
of the General Statutes and 1963 Supplements.
Section 13-202 permits cities of the first class to annex property adjacent
to the city if it is:
(a) Subdivided and the plat is recorded,
(b) Tracts of land which are 20 acres or less in size if 2/3 or more
of any boundary adjoins the city.
(c) Property which is in or mainly within the city. This means
property or properties which are bounded by the city by more than
fifty percent of their total boundary.
(d) A tract of land which is more than 20 acres when annexation is
requested by the owner. In this instance the ordinance for
annexation would be presented to the county commissioners prior
to approval. by the city.
Section 13-1602 and 13-1602a and amendments in 1963 place certain limitations
on annexation where an adjoining'school district is effected by the annexa-
tion. The statutes provide in this instance that a request for prior approval
for annexation of adjacent territory to a school district of the city must
be submitted and approved by the State Department of Public Instructions.
An act recently proposed by the Kansas Legislative Council would
liberalize annexation proceedings somewhat when compared' to present.
laws. The act, if passed, would allow a strip of land 1000 feet in
depth adjoining a highway, providing direct access to a city, to be
~nnexed within a distance of one half (~) mile of the corporate limits.
The strip of land must be used for a purpose other than agriculture.
The act would also increase the size of a tract of land, to be annexed,
from the present twenty (20) to thirty (30) acres.
The act would establish the following conditions for annexations:
(a) The land is platted, and some part of such land adjoins the
city.
(b) The land is owned by or held in trust for the city .or any
agency thereof.
-5-

(c) The land adjoins the city and is owned by or held in trust
for any governmental unit other than another city.
(d) The land has a co~~on perimeter with the city boundary line
of more than fifty percent (50%).
(e) The'land if annexed will make the city boundary line straight
'or harmonious and some part thereof adjoins the city, except
no land in excess of thirty (30) acres shall be annexed for
this purpose.
(f) The tract is so situated that two-thirds (2/3) of any boundary
line adjoins the city, except no tract in excess of thirty
(30) acres shall be annexed under this condition.
(g) The land adjoins the city and a written petition for or
consent to annexation is filed with the city by the owner.

.ANNEXATION AND ZONING
The Salina Zoning Ordinance is one of the most
with respect to zoning of annexed properties.
Ordinance reads as follows:
up-to-date in Kansas
This section of the
"After due consideration of the Saline County Zoning Plan
the City Planning Commission shall recommend to the Board of
City Commissioners of Salina, the zoning classification of
all territory which may hereafter be annexed to the City of
Salina at the time said t~rritory is annexed to the City.
In the event that a recommendation is not made by the City
Planning Commission or in the event a recommendation is not
approved by the Board of City Commissioners of Salina, all
territory which may hereafter be annexed to the City of
Salina shall automatically be classed as lying and being in
District "A" until such classification shall have been changed
by an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, as provided by law".
The wording of the ordinance permits the Planning Commission to recommend
zoning districts prior to annexation. The ordinance annexing the land
may then specify what zone the annexed land is to be given. The end
result is that the costly and timely procedure of a zoning change after
annexation is eliminated.
. .

ANNEXATION AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
One may believe Subdivision Regulations and Annexation are not truly
compatible subjec:ts to be discussed in an annexation plan. It is true
that they are separated in the sense that once a subdivision is approved
and recorded in the fringe area the city has no jurisdiction over further
activities in the subdivision. Indirectly, however, there is a relation-
ship between annexation and subdivisions in the fringe area. Kansas law
grants subdivision review and approval to cities having planning commissions.
The law also authorizes the planning commission to establish minimum standards
for improvements required in the subdivision and alternate methods for
installation of these improvements. The minimum improvement design standards
and methods of financing is the link in the chain which ties annexation and
subdivision regulations together providing the design standards and method
of financing are uniform in the city and fringe areas. The implication is
that areas which may be later annexed to the city will have improvements
comparable to those in the city and the tax load on the city and property
owner in the annexed area ~i11 be greatly reduced.
Section 12-705 of the general statutes of Kansas as amended in 1965 granting
this authority reads as follows:
"Such regulation may also as a condition to the approval of any
plat require and fix the extent to which and the manner in which
streets shall be improved and water, sewer, drainage and other
utility mains and piping or connections or other physical improve-
ments shall be installed. Such regulations may provide that in
lieu of the completion of such work or improvements prior to the
final approval of the plat, the governing body may accept a
corporate surety bond, cashier's check, escrow account or other
like security in an .amount to be fixed by the governing body and
conditioned upon the actual completion of such work or improve-
ments within a specified period, in accordance with such regula-
tions, and the governing body ~ay enforce such bond by all
equitable remedies."
The City of Salina should amend their subdivision regulations to insure
uniform improvement control in the city and three (3) mile fringe area
in accordance with the provisions of the statutory amendment.

POSSIBLE PROVISIONS OF A "POLICY STATEMENT" RELATING TO ANNEXATION
Any position or statement of policy consequently adopted
by a City Commission should be based on,positive cri-
teria with proper provisions to allow for a limited degree
of flexibility. The criteria must be established so
that fair, reasonable and impartial considerations are
'granted to all applicants and areas. Foremost attention
must always be given to promoting the general health,
welfare, safety, morals and convenience of the community.
The following is submitted as a "Preliminary Policy
Statement", covering 'the topics discussed in this report.
Certain important points may have been overlooked. Some
portions may need amending. It may be wise to omit other
sections, in part or in total. In any event, the follow-
ing should serve as a point of departure in drafting an
acceptable statement - if such a move is deemed desirable.
-'
A. Basic Position of City of Salina Regarding Municipal
Service Extensions, Annexation and Deannexation.
1. No area should be provided with any municipal
service, annexed to, or deannexed from the City
of Salina if such action would tend to hinder,
delay, or otherwise impede the present or future
development, health, welfare, safety, morals or
convenience of the City of Salina.
2. Land on the perimeter of the City of Salina
(regardless of whether it is improved or 'undeveloped;
within the City Limits or outside and adjacent
thereto) is enhanced in value because of its rela-
ti~e proximity to the City and to the services" facil-
ities,' and benefits provided by the City.
a. The City shall look with favor upon the
annexation of such land when its proximity to
the City, the rate of growth of the City, and
other factors indicate that annexation of the
area would aid the City's growth and develop-
ment) or when annexation is deemed necessary
to guard against uncontrolled development not
consistent with long-range land use needs.
b. It will be the intent of the City to extend
municipal services to such areas on the follow-
ing priority basis: (1) all lands within the
City Limits: (2) improved and platted land
adjacent to the City Limits; (3) unimproved
and platted land adjacent to the City Limits:
and (4) unplatted lands adjacent to the City
Limits. The City will not look with favor upon
-9-
extending any municipal services beyond the
City Limits of Salimi that may create any
degree of disadvantage to the properties or
citizens of the City.
c. Requests to deannex such land will be
given unfavorable consideration when such
requests are s01ely based on the premise
that City taxes shoul d not be paid on vacant
land.
3. The City of Salina recognizes an obligation to investi-
gate or control land beyond its corporate limits to achieve
certain objectives:
a. To maintain a logical planning unit in
accordance with the provisions of a compre-
hensive planning program.
b. To insure that land values will be main-
tained and available for proper 'use and growth
in a planned development program.
c. To insure that new development will not
take place in a substandard manner, and
thereby become a detriment to the entire
Salina area.
d. To further sound capital improvement plan-
ning and thus protect Salina's position in the
municipal bond market and its ability to finance
and construct capital improvements necessary to
the growth and economic welfare of the entire
community.
B. Referral to the City Engineer, Director Utilities and the City
Planning Commission.
All matters relating to the extension of municipal services out-
side the City Limits, annexation, or deannexation shall be referred
to the City Engineer, the Director of Utilities and the City Plan-
ning Commission for their study, evaluation, and recommendations to
the City Commission.
The analysis by the City Pl~nning Commission shall be based on
the following criteria, in keeping with the preceding state-
ments.
C. Analysis by the City Planning Commission.
1. Is the area in question currently needed for the growth
of Salina?
-10-
, ,
2. Can the area be served with water, sewage collection
and treatment, mixed refuse, streets, and other munici-
pal services by the City?
3. Will the City ultimately provide'municipal ser-
vices to the area?
4. Should the City presently provide any municipal
services to thi area?
5. Would the extension of services to the area promote
private gain or enhance the economic welfare of the
entire community?
6. Do density patterns currently exist to indicate that
the area should now be within the City Limits of Salina
so that the health, welfare, safety, morals, or conven-
ienceof the City may better be insured?
7. Is there a need in the area for up-to-date land use
and other controls (zoning, sub-division regulations,
building codes, etc.) to maintain present values Or to
insure that future developments in the area will not
occur in a sub-standard manner and become a detriment to
the entire Salina community?
8. Any specific characteristics or factors not listed
above and unique to the land in question shall be con-
sidered.
Effect on School Districts.
Boundaries of Unified School District 305 were obtained from the Superintendant
of Schools. These boundaries are shown on the annexation study area map. A compari-
son was made of school district limits with those areas eligible for annexa-
tion. It was found that all properties eligible for annexation fall within
the boundaries of Unified District 305 except a small portion located north
of Interstate 70 and east of U.S. Highway 81. This area could be left out
of the annexation program without jeopardizing the total annexation program.
-11-
:
THE ANNEXATION STUDY
The Salina annexation study included a complete invesitgation of land
ownerships, review of state laws applicable to annexation, checking school
district boundaries and mapping county zoning regulations for those areas
which were eligible for annexation.
Land Ownerships, Population and Valuations.
The Salina Planning Department staff spent many hours in the County Court
House obtaining ownership of land within about one mile of the City of
Salina. They also prepared an ownership base map for the annexation study.
The mapped data shows location and size of ownership of properties in the
study area except for land which was subdivided. Since an entire subdivision
can be annexed by a single ordinance subdivided land was labeled such on
the base map and individual ownerships of lots and blocks in the subdivision
were not recorded. This map was used as the basis to. total annexation
study since Kansas law provides guide lines for annexation based on size of
land ownership.
Preliminary-estimates of the population in the total areas eligible for
annexation were made. These estimates where based on counts of residential
structures in the area and did not include trailer houses. According to the
building counts there are about 190 residential units in the annexation
area which would house approximately 580 persons.
Estimates of commercial and industrial structures in the annexation area
indicate approximately 55 such uses would be taken into the City if all
eligible areas are annexed to the City.
Assessed valuation data is being collected by the Salina City Planning
Department. However, complete data is not available for inclusion in this
draft. Partial data indicates that subdivided land which is predominately
undeveloped has an assessed value of $222,000 which would be added to the
City's tax base if all eligible areas are annexed to the City.
Pha~ed Program for Annexation.
The state enabling legislation and ownership map prepared by the City
provided guidelines for analysis of those areas eligible for annex-
ation. A colored overlay was prepared to show the step by step process
necessary to accomplish the total annexation p~ogram. The study re-
vealed that the total program could be accompLished in ten steps.
Upon completion of the map is was observed that the total program
could be divided into five separate areas which may be separated
and made independent from each other. The annexation process could,
therefore, be undertaken on each area separately or on all areas
concurrently. For the sake of clearity the small map attached to this
report identifies the five areas of the program.
It is interesting to note that the annexation of all eligible properties
would increase the size of the City by about 6,000 acres. This would mean
that Salina would be about twice its size in area prior to the annexation of
the Schilling Air Force Base.

Evaluation of Areas Eligible for Annexation with criteria Submitted
or Presented in the Planning Department Report of November, 1963
Areas eligible 'for annexation were divided into. the five independent
areas as were observed in the annexation study for the purpose of
evaluating them.with the recommended criteria of the November 1963
study. The following is an evaluation of each area:
Area I.
Area I is located east of U.S. Highway"Sl and extends north about
three-fourths of a mile and south about one and one-fourth miles from
Interstate Highway 70.
1. It is questionable that this total area is needed for present
growth of Salina, especially that area north of Interstate 70
which lies outside Unified School District 305.
2. The City has adequate water and sewer lines in close proximity
to the area. Other facilities can be extended to serve the area.
The street system in the area is very inadequate.
3. Water and sewer lines have already been installed north of
the City. It would ....therefore. appear that it was the intent of
the City to provide municipal services to the area.
4. Density and land use patterns in the area would indicate
that municipal services should be provided if the health. safety
and welfare are to be preserved.
5. There is no doubt that the annexation of this area would
promote private gain because the area proposed for annexation is
predominately residential. Housing and trailers would add little
to the City's economic bas~. ~
6. The density pattern. particularly in. the area south of
Interstate 70, has reached the point that it would be in the best
interest of the City to annex the area.
7. There is a need in the area for up-to-date land use .and
other controls if future values are to be preserved.
S. Part of this area is located outside Unified School District
305. This area is located north of Interstate 70. The area is
predominently vacant and could. therefore, be deleted from the
annexation plan without conflict with the total annexation plan.
The zoning of land in this area should be carefully evaluated.
Only that land that is presently used for commercial and industrial
use should be annexed as such to the City at this time.
-13-
..
Area II.
Area II is located northwest of the City, It incudes that area
between the City limits and the flood control dike and most of the
area lying south of North Street between Interstate 35W and the
present City limits.
1. The present use of the area would lead one to question
whether much of this area is needed for the growth of Salina.
This is the area where the night clubs and similar uses are more
pronounced in the comm~nity. It is believed that land use and
building code controls are important in such an area since many
citizens in. the Salina community use the facilities in the area.
2.. This area is void of any large water or sewer lines. Existing
water and sewer lines in that part of the City are small and many
water lines are deadend.
3. The City or some unit of government will undoubtedly be
required to provide municipal services to the area.
4. If the public health and general welfare of the community is
to be preserved, municipal services should be provided to the
built-up sections of the area.
5. It is believed that extension of City services to the built-
up sections of this area, if not for economic welfare, for the
public health and general welfare.
6. Density patterns along State Street Road and West North Street
are such that the area should be within the City limits of Salina
to promote the public health, welfare and morals of the City.
7. There is a definite need for up-to-date building and other
code requirements in the area because many uses in the area
attract large groups of people.
8. The entire area is located inside Unified School District 305
and would, therefore, not cause any school district complications.
9. Zoning of land in this area should be carefully studied before
annexation is undertaken. It is questionable that all railroad
rights-of-way should be zoned industrial. Zoning of some of the
other properties in the area are questionabl~..
-14-
..
Area II I
Area III is located northeast of the City of Salina and includes
more industri.l platted and zoned land than' any of the annexation
area. This area also includes the large city park and Salina sewage
treatment plant.
1. It is believed that this area should have a number one
priority in the total annexation program because it would
greatly enhance growth of the Salina community.
2. Large sewer and water 1 ines are in close proximity to
,this area and could be easily extended to serve the prop-
erties in the area. Other services could be provided to
thc' area with a minimum of cost. Streets in the area are
badly needed if the industrial growth potential is to be
promoted.
3. Industrial growth potential of this area would lead one
to believe that the City would provide services to the area
to attract new industrial establishments. There is no doubt
that city services will be provided at city-owned land in
the area.
4. City services shollid definitely be provided to this area.
5. Extension of services to this area would definitely pro-
mote the economic welfare of the entire community.
6. Density patterns in this annexation area have reached
,a point where the land shoUld definitely be annexed to the
City. Exclusive industrial zoning would preserve this area
for industrial land use and would promote the health. wel-
fare and safety of the entire Salina community. ..
7. Many of the structures 'that now exist in the area are
substandard. This would indicate a need for building regu-
lations.
,8. The entire area is located in Unified School District 305.
9. Present zoning of the land will permit a wide variety
of mixed uses. The Planning Commission should consider a more
restrictive industrial zone for those'presently ,zoned for indus-
trial purposes by the county.
It should be noted. at this point, that a new concept in zoning has
been introduced into the discussion (Item 6). This relatively new
approach known as exclusive type zoning prevents the pyramiding of
uses from the most restrictive zone to the least restrictive rone.
This is a fault in the present city zoning ordinance and county
zoning resolution and has been responsible for mixing of non-com-
patible land uses such as single family dwellings in commercial and
industrial districts.
-15-
:
A revised zoning regulation is being drafted by the City Planning
Department, to correct this with respect to industrial districts
so that the value of this land will not decline due to improper
mixing of land use. Consideration should be given to all zoning
districts and the possibility of updating both the city zoning
ordinance and county zoning resolution.
-16-
.' ;
Area IV.
Area IV is located on the'east side of Salina and is bounded generally
by East Crawford Street on the north, the former Municipal Airport on
the east and Magnolia Road on the south. This area encompasses the
proposed City Golf Course, Salina Elks Club and the Cemetery and a site
that has been' suggested for a large City Park to serve the south
Salina citizens.
1. The area is not currently needed for the physical growth of
Salina. The Comprehensive Plan does indicate, however, that this
area will be predominantly residential in the future. Annexation
of this land at the present time would promote orderly growth
through an enforcement of zoning and building regulations.
2. The area is well served by water and sewer lines. Streets in
the area are limited primarily to major streets on section lines,
hence major improvements would not be needed for some time.
3. The City is already furnishing some sewer, water or other
services to the major users in the annexation area.
4. Very few additional services are needed in this area at the
present time.
5. There is no doubt that extension of services to private land
owners in this area would promote private gain because the land
is intended primarily for residential land uses. We must consider,
however, that this area is sparsely developed and for the most
part unsubdivided. Future improvements could be required as a
part of plat approval and reduce overall cost to present City
tax payers.
6. As indicated in 5. 'above, the area is sparsely developed at
the present time.
7. Annexation of this land to the City at the present time
would permit the City to provide uniform regulations with a
minimum of nonconformance. The City could then be assured that
the area would not be developed in a sub-standard manner and
become a detriment to the entire community. Spotty trailer court
development is not desirable and should not be permitted in this
area.
8. All property in this annexation area lies within Unified
School District 305.
9. The former airport property should not be zoned for commercial
purposes as shown on the county zoning plan.
-17-
Area V.
Area V is located south of Salina and includes that land between the
present Municipal Airport and present City limits.
1. The annexation of this total area should probably be given
at least' a number two priority because it provides additional
industrial and residential growth potential. It is believed that
control of land use, zoning and buildings is needed in this area
to promote harmonious growth of the community.
2. City services can be provided to serve this area.
3. The City is already providing services to most of the developed
area. Other municipal services will be required as the area
develops.. ,
4. It is believed that it would be in the best interest of the
Salina community that municipal services be extended to the entire
area as they are needed.
5. Existing industrial activity and future activity which might
be attracted to this area would lead one to believe extension of
services to this area would enhance the economic welfare of the
entire community.
6. This annexation area is sparsely developed at the present
time and is somewhat like Area IV in that the City has an excellent
opportunity to initiate uniform zoning, building and improvement
controls to insure proper development.
7.' There is a definite need for up-to-date land use and other
controls for this area. Such controls would definately maintain
present values and insure the City that future development will
not be sub-standard and become a detriment to the entire Salina
communi ty.
8. The entire annexation Area is located in Unified School
District 305.
9. Present county zoning regulations show most of this area to
be zoned for Agricultural and two family dwelling district.
Zoning in this area should be carefully considered because most
of the land is in clos,e proximity to the industrial complex at ,the
Airport. High residential density would not'be recommended.
Like Area III industrial zoning should be of a exclusive nature
for potential industrial properties in this 'area.

Recommended Annexation Program
1. rt is recommended that step one annexations, as shown on the
overlay map, be considered for all the annexation Areas.
2. It is recommended that all of Area III and Area V be annexed
as soon as possible.
3. It is recommended that annexation for Area I be limited to
that part of the study area south of Interstate Highway 70 and
that this entire area be annexed at the present time.
4. Since Area IV is sparsely developed at the present time and
will probably remain so for a few years, the annexation of this
Area can be delayed for a year or two.
5. Annexation of Area II should be delayed until a complete study
is made of cost and required municipal services needed to serve
the Area.
6. It is recommended that the "Policy Statement" proposed in the
1963 Planning Department report be followed and that this policy
be expanded to include zoning and school districts.
